Re: [Tex-music] musixtex version 1.19
Hi Bob, the new tremolo commands are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! On the other hand I wonder, whether the "Leitmotiv" on the title page of musixdoc.pdf 1.19: If you are not familiar with TEX at all, I would recommend to find another software package to do musical typesetting. Setting up TEX and MusiXTEX on your machine and mastering it is an awesome job which gobbles up a lot of your time and disk space. But, once you master it. . . Hans KUYKENS (ca. 1995) is still valid. In the end you will need some acquaintance with TeX and MusiXTeX, but to my opinion a beginner can get results within a day, using e.g. MikTeX on Windows, PMX and the book of Noack. Does anybody know how many people around the earth are using "MusiXTeX and friends"? When we want that MusiXTeX survives among the very many competing products (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scorewriters) , then, I believe,we should try to acquire more users and not deter them.

The following appears in the Introduction at WIMA: It is possible to create inputs for MusiXTeX, PMX, M-Tx or autosp using any text editor, such as notepad or vi or emacs. Currently there is no graphical user interface for generating input files, other than TeX-oriented integrated graphical development environments such as TeXWorks. That could certainly be added to musixdoc (though not on the title page).

But that's why immediately below it is the following: In my humble opinion, that whole statement is obsolete. Christof BIERICHER (2006) The first quote has been in the manual for twenty years. I didn't think it should be removed without a consensus. Lots of other maintainers have had the opportunity to do so and haven't.

Perhaps now the warning should be: If you've elected to write your text documents with MS-Word and not with TeX or LaTeX I would recommend to find another software package to do musical typesetting.
